Series background

 

The Northern Rowing Council, with the help of host clubs, runs the Long Distance Sculling (LDS)  series every autumn. Usually we aim to have six competitions over six consecutive weekends.

    

The LDS series is for sculling boats only - in a normal year singles, doubles, quads and, at some locations octuplets too. They are open to all age groups and categories. In 2019 all ran except Durham, which was cancelled. 2020 saw o events in the series due to Covid.

   

Usually there are associated but independent Small Boats Head (SBH) competitions with sculling and sweep in the afternoon on four of the six days.  For information showing how the series normally runs, the results and a full report of the 2019 series and its individual competitions are here.
